Posts on this list are on topic if they concern vegetarian and animal rights

matters. This is the wrong list on which to post off-topic matters relevant

only to one's personal political values. Please post matters like this to

the appropriate lists, not this one.

Feb. 2nd -- Take a stand against the WEF!

 

 

> The World Economic Forum has fled to New York after it's last location

(forgot the name -- not in the US) decided that it was too costly to fend

off demonstrators. As of today, the leaders of the world's largest

corporations are gathering behind closed doors to make decisions that affect

us all. I've heard that one of the speakers will be the CEO of McDonald's,

discussing " global anger, " or something to that affect.

> At the same time, the World Social Forum will be meeting in Porto

Alegre, Brazil, to discuss how best to create a sustainable future, centered

around community, not capitalism.

>

> On February 2nd, demonstrators will gather in San Fancisco at Powell &

Market (in front of B of A) at 6pm in solidarity with New York's

anti-capitalist convergence. There will be music & films -- I'm not sure

what group is organizing this, but I've gotten notices about it via email

and found a listing on Craigslist w/more info:

>

> Let's not sit silently while corporations steal the power & wealth

that should belong to us all! I'll be there, of course -- if you can make

it, feel free to let me know so we can meet up. If anyone's interested in

gathering over vegan food beforehand, that'd be cool.
